No extra money for cleaning schools

WILLEMSTAD - There are no extra funds for the cleaning of public schools. This can be deducted from the words of the Minister of Education Marilyn Alcala-Wallé. Teachers and parents complained recently that the schools are currently dirty.

Cleaning of these school will take place during three days of the week.

But according to the minister, this is a choice of the School Boards themselves. They receive a budget of more than 20 million guilders for the operation of their schools. There is just not enough money for more days of cleaning. Especially with the current financial situation of the government. According to the Ministers, the School Boards have to understand this.
